Re: 4.05 CD Resupply Orders Question

["Bill" <bubbzbill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

Most everyone is telling you about an in-transit warehouse since that
seems to be your concern.  Let me tell you how we do it here (405cd as
well).  We don't have an in-transit warehouse (it doubles the number
of transactions), we're okay with the inventory not showing in any
warehouse, because it really doesn't exist in any warehouse.  We use a
custom in-transit report (which is loosely based on the BPCS report),
which basically reads the ECL and the quantity shipped minus the
quantity received is the in-transit quantity.

The only problem we experience with this method is that the system
sets the Lot status to Z whenever it calculates a full consumption of
that lot.  This is an erroneous assumption when dealing with
in-transit situations.
